Lily Allen has gone from size 12 to size eight after several sessions with Susan Hepburn, who she claims has reprogrammed her brain to enjoy healthy organic food and associate trips to the gym with feeling happy.

Allen, 22, is delighted with her new look and said: "After the hypnotism, I want to go to the gym every day, otherwise I feel really bad.

"I just want to get more toned and healthy. I'm really good about everything at the moment - I've never been happier."

The singer, daughter of actor Keith Allen, is not the first celebrity to turn to hypnotism to lose weight - model Sophie Dahl, singer Geri Halliwell and the Duchess of York have all done so.

Hypnotist Ms Hepburn runs a Harley Street clinic specialising in self-improvement techniques. She charges about £300 an hour for weight-loss treatment, including instruction on self-hypnosis.

Those who have undergone the treatment claim that she implants subconscious messages that remind them to stop eating when they feel full.

Ms Hepburn also teaches clients to associate healthy activities, such as working out in the gym, with happiness.
